Hi Rick,
        yup, just read your last two messages today.  I'm sure you found the 
Bell 47 to be quite a thrill.  It is a real flying machine.  You feel very 
close to the whole flying experience, mostly because you are so close to the 
engine and rotor blades, not to mention the super good view!  I'll bet you 
are twice as nuts about your R/C 47G now, eh? (a little Canadianism, thrown 
in at this time of the looming Quebec seperation, to  express my love for 
Canada.) 
;-)
Take care,
Joe
ps. I'm not messing with choppers until next season.  Might fly my electric 
Lazy Bee off floats from the snow though.
